Welcome to the thirtieth issue of "Shut Up and Mangia!" this issue will be brief and simple due to tech problems which caused me to fall behind schedule.

The menu I put together celebrates "The Feast of the Seven Fishes" which is a Christmas Eve celebration. The feast consists of seven fishes which symbolize a variety of different things depending on your families beliefs. Some say it symbolizes the seven sacraments other say it means the seven days God took to create mankind. Whatever your belief, seven seafood dishes are prepared in honor of the arrival of the baby Jesus.
